"We don't want benefits we want to be allowed to work" - say Zimbabwean refugees in Bristol. Over a hundred Zimbabweans met in Bristol pleading with the British Government to allow them their dignity and allow them the right to work in this country.

totally agree with you there the next closest safe country is not England. but we all know why there here right know well probably because the moment there feet touch English land they are entitled to everything more than what were are . and if you think thats wrong well we are all paying for them and are nhs is stretched so much it cant cope among other things so when your old dad is waiting for an ambulance it will probably be picking a seeker up instead .

"Our treatment of asylum seekers is shameful "

We owe these zimbabweans fuck all, we owe them nothing.

We pay for the roof over their heads, we feed them, clothe them, we pay translaiton services, we pay for their legal fees, medical care, education etc.

how fucking dare you say our hospitality is shameful.

do ytou know that council tax in my area has increased for the 5th time due to these asylum seekers.

I pay for their care and you say it is shameful.

I have read plenty on immigration issues. Tell me why I should read more. You simply cannot have nations taking in everybody else that have it bad and not have resentment. There have been people that have been offered asylum in France and yet they still try and get to the UK. Why is this?? Ireland is now having a foreign population explosion and prior to 2005 when they made it so one parent had to have been born in Ireland to be given citizenship you had many women coming to Ireland pregnant

Please try to appreciate the facts :-

There are international agreements to offer sanctuary to those at risk of persecution when they apply for asylum seeker status

Whilst seeking asylum asylum seekers receive only a proportion of the 'going' rate of benefits available to others, and have to live in low standard NASS accommodation

Whilst seeking asylum they are not permitted to work

Our treatment of asylum seekers is shameful
